Three changes matching Pastorini's working implementation:
1. Always set root header in generateCarouselMessage - the root
interactiveMessage header must always be present with title and
hasMediaAttachment:false. Previously it was undefined when no text
was provided, which violates WhatsApp MD protocol requirements.
2. Return plain JS object from generateWAMessageContent for carousel -
skip WAProto.Message.fromObject() which can corrupt nested carousel
structures by incorrectly handling oneOf fields in deeply nested
InteractiveMessage cards. protobuf encode() handles plain objects
correctly during serialization.
3. Pass plain JS object directly to relayMessage in sendMessage - call
relayMessage(jid, msgContent) with the plain object instead of
going through proto.WebMessageInfo.fromObject() first. This matches
Pastorini's approach of relayMessage(jid, plainObject, opts).
